Common Questions About Agile Coaching (FAQ)
Q: How long does agile transformation typically take?
A: Initial results appear within 2-3 months, with significant transformation typically occurring over 6-12 months. However, agile is a continuous journey of improvement rather than a destination.
Q: What’s the difference between agile coaching and Scrum training?
A: Training provides knowledge and skills, while coaching helps apply those skills in your specific context. Coaching addresses real challenges, organisational dynamics, and sustainable change beyond what training alone can achieve.
Q: Can agile work in non-IT departments?
A: Absolutely! We’ve successfully coached agile adoption in HR, Marketing, Finance, and Operations. Agile principles of iterative delivery, customer focus, and continuous improvement apply universally.
Q: How do you measure coaching success?
A: We establish clear metrics at the beginning, typically including:
- Delivery cycle time reduction
- Quality improvement indicators
- Team health/satisfaction scores
- Business value metrics
- Stakeholder satisfaction
Q: What if we’ve tried agile before and failed?
A: Previous struggles often result from incomplete implementation or lack of organisational support. Our coaching addresses root causes, not just symptoms, ensuring sustainable success this time.
Q: Do you work with specific frameworks like SAFe or LeSS?
A: Yes, we’re experienced with multiple scaling frameworks but always customise the approach to your context. We’re LeSS-friendly trainers and SAFe certified, but we prioritize what works for you over rigid framework adherence.
